The idea was to leave the list open. We wanted to make sure that new officers of Parliament could be added. As I said earlier, we are not opposed to Parliament adding them to the list instead of the Governor in Council. We simply thought this would make the process easier. I really don't think it is a bad thing to add more positions to the list. I don't think it is a problem. The list is created with a specific criterion in mind. We want to make sure that it is easy to add positions if we think other positions should be on the list as well. That does not mean that we are completely opposed to Parliament doing the job.
